Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Soon, the banquet came to an end. Ali and Zhuo exchanged a glance, and suddenly a colorful ball scattered from the sky.

There were uncontrollable small exclamations at the scene, but because Qianlong was present, everyone restrained themselves.

Hanxiang made a grand appearance. Ali Hezhuo looked at Hanxiang proudly, as his daughter had always been his pride.

Hanxiang landed quietly amid the fluttering ribbons and began to perform according to the original owner's memory.

Unfortunately, it’s as if I just got to know these limbs, thanks to muscle memory, otherwise I would be at a loss if I didn’t use the fragrance.

No more pretending, let’s be honest, in modern times she is just an uncoordinated person.

The cram school work these days has been quite effective.

The fragrant aroma quickly spread in the air.

He Xi sniffed it carefully. Hmm, it smells good. That’s great. She doesn’t have to spray perfume.

Qianlong looked at Hanxiang dancing in the center of the stage with fascination.

He Xi didn't want to talk much because of that pig brother. He Xi glanced at the queen secretly.

Unexpectedly, the empress was calmer than her. Yes, did Qianlong have too few concubines? One more is not too much, one less is not too little.

Qianlong was mentally prepared that this beauty was presented to him.

I have to say that the Western Regions is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

Seeing Qianlong's confused look, Ali Hezhuo nodded with satisfaction. He knew that no one could escape the temptation of his daughter.

Looking around, except for the concubines with jealous expressions and the queen with an indifferent face, everyone else was in a trance.

Hmm? This is...

Fu Kang'an looked straight ahead, and secretly watched He Xi with his peripheral vision. It didn't matter to him who was on the stage or what they did.

In his eyes there was only He Xi who was watching the performance intently.

Hanxiang managed to complete the performance based on her memory. Although there were some flaws, they were not serious and were beautiful enough.

I am still beautiful today!

There was warm applause at the end of the performance, especially from Qianlong, whose eyes were filled with determination and possessiveness.

Xiaoyanzi still remembers Mengdan who was depressed in Huibin Building. When he saw Ali and Zhuo were going to present Hanxiang to Qianlong, he was so anxious that he almost went out to express his love for them.

"Xiaoyanzi, you can't go!" Ziwei stopped her. Now Qianlong's attitude towards them is not the same as before, so they have to take it slow.

Xiaoyanzi was probably scared by the lesson, so she endured it. She watched with a gloomy face as Ali Hezhuo gave Hanxiang to Qianlong as if he was selling a product.

"Your Majesty, this is my daughter Hanxiang. Hanxiang, come and meet Your Majesty." Ali Hezhuo introduced Hanxiang.

Hanxiang stepped forward and bowed sensibly. She had studied some etiquette in the past few days. When the empress dowager saw that Hanxiang was quite well behaved, her gloomy face finally eased a little.

"Haha, Ali Hezhuo, you have a really good daughter."

"Your Majesty, if you do not mind, please allow Hanxiang to enter the palace as your concubine and serve you." Ali Khoja stated his purpose, which was exactly what Qianlong wanted.

"Haha, Ali Hezhuo, you are truly the most loyal friend of the Qing Dynasty! I accept this gift."

"Wu Shulai."

"exist."

"Appoint Princess Hanxiang as the Fragrant Consort and grant her the residence in Baoyue Tower. I will take good care of such a beauty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hanxiang also kowtowed obediently to express her gratitude, and Qianlong couldn't stop smiling.

The party was over and everyone went home.

He Xi looked at the Queen on the way back.

"Just say whatever you want to say." The Queen said helplessly, and He Xi felt that her sight was very hidden.

"My Queen Mother, aren't you sad?"

The Queen knew that Hexi was talking about Hanxiang.

"What's there to be sad about? You know your father well. Even if Hanxiang didn't exist, there would be other concubines."

"If everyone is sad, do you still want to live? I have Yongji, Yongjing and you, so I don't have anything to worry about. Hanxiang is of a decent family after all, and she is a symbol of friendship, so it is reasonable to take her as a concubine."

The Queen spoke calmly, and He Xi could see that she really didn't care. She didn't know whether she was being magnanimous or had just gotten used to it.

This is true for all the women in the harem.

He Xi felt that she was not that generous. If Fu Kang'an dared to have other thoughts, she would kill him first!

Fukangan felt a chill on the back of his neck for some reason. It must be that Duolong scolding him.

***

Hanxiang came to Baoyue Tower, looked at the residence and nodded with satisfaction. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be her home for the next few decades.

It’s great, there’s no danger to her life, and the peaceful and quiet life is what she has always dreamed of.

"Gina, prepare the Manchu clothes. We will change into them when father returns."

"Yes."

Hanxiang nodded with satisfaction. She knew how to adapt to local customs. There was no need to nitpick on these minor details. Since she had decided to live here, she had to adapt.

She didn't know that there were people outside the palace who had imagined a lot of things that she couldn't control and were trying to get her out of the palace.

Fragrant: tui～

She originally thought that Qianlong must be an old man, but today she found that he was not as old as she had imagined.

Emperor Qianlong had such a majestic aura and was well-maintained that he could be called a handsome uncle even in modern times.

Hanxiang, who prefers mature and steady men, likes this type very much, so she is even more willing to enter the palace.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei described the situation on the scene vividly.

"Hanxiang is really amazing, so pretty, and really fragrant."

"Yes, Meng Dan, I believe what you said, Hanxiang is simply a gift from God."

Meng Dan and Rong You Yan, but his heart ached terribly when he thought of Han Xiang's difficult life in the ruthless harem, with an old emperor eyeing her covetously.

"Don't worry, I'll go to Baoyue Tower to look for Hanxiang in a few days."

"Yeah, Meng Dan, don't give up."

"Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs lately," Yongqi comforted him, which meant that Qianlong would not be able to enjoy the beauty in the short term.

Meng Dan finally calmed down after hearing this.

"The happiness of Hanxiang and I is in your hands." Meng Dan thanked him solemnly.

Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Yongqi and Erkang suddenly felt a great sense of responsibility.

They are doing good things, helping those who are destined to benefit, and they are just.

But the vague feeling of uneasiness in their hearts always lingered, which they deliberately ignored.

They thought about everyone and fought for everyone's love, but they only forgot the emperor whom they said they loved and admired countless times.

Deep down in their hearts, family affection is worthless compared to love.

So filial.

Xiao Jian listened quietly at the side, perhaps the opportunity to enter the palace was just around the corner.

The Forbidden City has strict rules and regulations, and it is not easy to get in, but with them, it seems possible.

"Hanxiang, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you from the cage. Then we will be together forever, no matter where the world ends. Hanxiang, wait for me!" Meng Dan thought to himself.

"Crunch--" Hanxiang was nestled in the chaise longue, eating a sweet apple, making a crunchy sound.

It’s so good. Now this kind of life of just eating and waiting to die, lying down and being a lazy fish is priceless.

I don't know what the original owner was thinking. Maybe he was just bored.
